It's me again!

Well, we had a good week. Not too much trouble :) The twins are starting to get a little frustrated at math class. Well, it's mostly Dan. Tim seems to understand faster but Dan works faster!? I don't get it. Twins are strange people!!

Beth is doing well. She will start reading very soon. She is her mothers child. I have to laugh when I think that I might have acted just as girly as she does!! What a nut. She is a joy. She can hold her own maybe better then I ever did. But I did not have 3 brothers either!!

Andy is 3 and he knows ALL his letters and sounds! No real thanks to me! Leap frog is a cool thing :) No, Dave and I both help him a lot. He is a fun kid to have around.

Tonight was a good church service. Brother Josh took the children outside and sang songs for like 40 min. Brother Jacob "taught" lesson on "The Center of Your Universe". That was a blessing to me right now :) God knows just what we need. I love Him. I want to give Him more of me and my time. As all of us Mothers know it is not always easy. I just have to remember that what time it is makes little difference. If it's 7 am or 1 in the afternoon! God loves it when I give Him that time. Sometimes I have found that I can really get blessed when I take a few min. several times a day to pray or read in the word. Sometimes I don't have a full 30 min but I DO if I space it out. Sometimes there is a kid~o on my lap when I do find time with the Lord and I think that's okay too :) Anyhow..........

We did have a showing this week. So, that's cool. God knows and time will tell. Sometimes time feels like it's against ya but you find out later that it was your friend.

My parents are coming to see us the first week of October!!!! YEA!!!! They got a free trip to Yellowstone and so they thought ..... Hey, why stay a week there when we can stay 2 days there and 2 days at each of our girls houses!!! So... here they come!!!!!!!!! I wish SO bad that we could be with them and my sister and her family. But we just don't have the extra $ to get there. And that week-end the Havre church is having the picture fund raiser. Then the following week the Columbia Falls church will do the same. (I'm in charge of that one! Hey.... anybody want a 10X13 photo of your family for $10!!!!! The photographer is GREAT) So, once again I don't think I will get to be with my folks and my sister and her fam.....~Sigh~......... I don't like living 4 hours from Mandi @ times like these. But I am greatful that they are comming!!!! It will be really nice to see them :) :)

Well, that is it for me. Hope you all have a great week out there in bloging land :)

Maybe the twins will even out soon on their learning/speed. ha! That's great that Beth and Andy are starting their experiences reading. Leap Frog does help out a lot.

Still praying about your house selling. And about you moving to Indiana. (tee hee JJ)

Anthony was really excited to hear from Dave the other evening. :D I'm so glad he called.

I know what you mean about finding that alone time with God. I've been trying to do more of that too. I know He's happy when we make the effort and He always seems to help me find more time when I make that initial effort. God's so good to us.

It's great to hear that you're going to get to see your parents. I know the kiddos are really excited about that. ;-) Grandparents are such great kid-spoilers ... what kid doesn't get all excited when they know Grandma and Grandpa are coming? ha!

Love ya. *big hug*

Would you remind your Mom that I am still awaiting her new e-mail address please? I can't send her pictures of the baby if I don't have that. BTW...no baby yet. I am so glad that your parents are going to be able to come visit...when I talked to her, last month, she was so sad because it was going to be a long while before she would get to visit with you girls and your families. Give her a big hug for me and of course, hugs to all of you. Love ya!
